Detailed Description

Encapsulates an occurance of an Xt event loop. The main loop synchronizes the event loop thread with the application each pass through the xt event loop e.g. the event loop looks like:

while(1) { XtGetEvent() LockMutex() XtDispatchEvent(); UnlockMutex(); yield(); // Let someone else run. }

This implies that work procedures and timer procs are also synchonrized to the application. Note that this synchronization can be costly if there are work procedures continuously active.
